Roger and family I am so sorry for your loss. I got aquatinted with Shelley when she worked at Ivy’s . We would talk a lot. She would talk about her family and was so proud of her little Granddaughter. She talked of preparing the meals for the holidays. She was such a lovely person.She loved and was proud of her family. I pray God will give you strength and comfort in the coming days ahead. You will always miss her. That never goes away. But as time passes I pray it will be easier to cope with her loss.
